Just noticed a while ago . . . .got it installed now. . . my ‘reboot’ flag popped up after installation. Everything is good to go. . . good work dev’s. . . .

Rich :wink:

Will update this weekend. Still have the mitigation fix in place. Will keep it in place.
The vulnerability Fragnesia still requires the mitigation and it has not been fixed.

So I woke up today checking my updates , and there it was kernel 7.0.7, you would almost think this is a rolling distro…oh wait. :grinning_face:

Finally save. Phu.

Thanks everyone for the info regarding the MediaTek Bluetooth issues. I ended up skipping version 7.0.7 and went straight to 7.0.8. Bluetooth is working as expected!
